Armstrong Creek, Victoria

Bellarine & Surf Coast Retreat – Beautiful Home, Infrared Sauna & Two Gorgeous Cats

We’re looking for a caring, reliable house sitter to enjoy our spacious four-bedroom home in Armstrong Creek, while keeping our two much-loved cats, Taro and Nala, company.

Our home is ideally positioned between Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula and Surf Coast, with the beach just 8 minutes away and shops around a 5-minute drive from home.

It’s a comfortable, relaxed home with everything you need for a lovely coastal stay, and we travel regularly, so we’d particularly love to find wonderful sitters who might like to return.

The home

You’ll have a spacious, modern four-bedroom home to enjoy, including:

* Private infrared sauna – perfect for relaxing at the end of the day
* Large, well-equipped kitchen
* Coffee machine
* Fast Wi-Fi – ideal if you work remotely
* Ducted heating and air conditioning throughout
* Smart TV with multiple streaming services
* Outdoor entertaining area
* Small, easy-care garden, regularly maintained by our gardener
* Secure garage parking
* Indoor plants that need occasional watering
* Shops, supermarkets and amenities around 5 minutes away
* Beach approximately 8 minutes away

It’s a great base for exploring Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula and Surf Coast, or simply enjoying a comfortable home, the sauna and some downtime.

Meet Taro & Nala

🐾 Taro is our tabby and enjoys an indoor/outdoor lifestyle. He comes and goes and mainly needs his regular meals, some company and someone keeping an eye on his usual routine.

🐾 Nala is our beautiful Ragdoll and is completely indoors. It’s very important that she remains safely inside at all times. She enjoys company and being comfortable at home.

🐾 Wiley, our Labrador, is sometimes home and sometimes has other arrangements when we travel. We’ll always make it clear when organising a sit whether Wiley will be joining you, so there are no surprises.

What we’re looking for

We travel regularly and would love to build a relationship with experienced, trustworthy and respectful house sitters who may be interested in returning for future stays.

We’re looking for someone who:

* Genuinely loves cats and is comfortable with an indoor/outdoor cat
* Will be particularly careful about keeping Nala safely indoors
* Is happy to provide plenty of company and affection
* Will treat our home with care and respect
* Is comfortable sending us the occasional update while we’re away
* May also be comfortable caring for a Labrador on some stays

In return, you’ll have a spacious and comfortable home in a fantastic location, with the Surf Coast, Bellarine Peninsula and Geelong all within easy reach, plus your own infrared sauna waiting at home.

If this sounds like your kind of house sit, we’d love to hear about you, your house-sitting experience and your experience caring for cats and dogs. Read more...
